Wasn't the best leg day today, but worked through it. .
.
Finished up with this superset:
Stiff Leg Deficit Deadlifts / Stability Pistol Squats.
.
.
I highly recommend this workout.
Let me tell you, the pistol squats are a Hell of a lot more challenging after your glutes and hamstrings are fatigued. .
.
I thought today was going to be a BIG leg day, but as soon as I started barbell squats I felt Weak..
.
.
I'm sure you can relate. I absolutely HATE days like these. They're frustrating to say the least.
.
.
Only thing to do is modify your training session and keep working. Not every day is going to be your best day lifting.
.
.
It sucks, but it is what it is. Just get through your workout the best you can and look forward to a better tomorrow!
.
.
Just keep in mind how blessed of a problem that is to have! I hope everyone has a great night!

Who ACTUALLY monitors their rest periods??
.
.
This is one of the most over looked aspects of training, but one of the most important! .
.
Too much or too little rest can have a significant affect on your goals. What those goals are, depends on the amount of rest you take in between sets. .
.
Here's a general guide to follow (No, I didn't make this up haha).
. .
🔹️Maximal strength (1-5 reps): Rest periods should be between 3-5 minutes.
3 minutes is about the time it takes for your body to fully regenerate ATP. .
.
🔹️ Hypertrophy/Muscle Growth (6-12 reps): Rest periods should be between 0-60 seconds.
Shorter rest periods can cause a greater release of anabolic hormones (McCall et al, 1999). Keeping an increased blood flow to your muscles, is going to be more beneficial for muscle growth as well. .
.
🔹️Muscle Endurance (12-20+ reps):
Rest periods should be between 0-90 seconds. .
.
.
Start monitoring your rest periods! I promise, it makes a HUGE difference in your training. .
